Hey girl. On my screen her dress was a bit bright near the banister. Used a Threshold layer to get my B & W points. The Gray point is to the right of the yellow flower. Added a Curves layer and set the values as shown. Know you are traveling and making do with a different setup ... can you see a difference?

Hi Lyn... thanks for your good eyes.. yes I thought it was bright too.. I like your numbers and result.. I'll recheck mine.. not quite sure what happened there.. sometimes I try something slightly different and powie... off it goes into the nether world  ;D

This is what I came up with...any better?? Also.. I'm thinking that big yellow blob may be damage not a flower.. what say you.. can't see one anywhere else...

That black noise didn't hold you back! Really nice!  :up: One tiny thing ... her chest on the right (looking at screen) side close to the arm, there's a bit of blue.

Very sneaky yellow stain, I also thought it was a rose!
Great job Lynn, your repairs are beautiful!

Not sure about the red skin tone.  When I try to add some cyan to the red and yellow the skin color becomes quite dark so I had a look at more of this lady's wedding photos and noticed that the dark color is probably right?

Hi Lynn. Happy Monday wherever you are  8)   Now, don't shoot me. I put all 3 side by side to see the changes. The newest seems a bit flat for lack of better term. What do you think when you look at them?

I'm with you on that, Hannie.  It's why I stay within my wheelhouse of comfort for restorations.
